France would not have such a headache now with Islam if they had not let things get out of hand the way they have


What gets me, Dennis, it that, according to this article, and what I have read elsewhere, the French Establishment still believes that the "Emperor has Clothes." They are no nearer to solving this than they were 10 years ago.

Who Owns History? Rethinking the Past in a Changing World, by Eric Foner


I won't post the whole Book Review, it is too OT, but if you are interested in American History, and where it is being taken, try this article. Here is the Lead In:

The Left's Lion
Eric Foner's history.

Eric Foner of Columbia University is one of our nation's most acclaimed historians. A past president of both the American Historical Association and the Organization of American Historians, he is best known as the author of pioneering revisionist studies of Reconstruction and of Republican ideology before the Civil War, as well as other books on ideology and politics in the Civil War era. He is also one of the foremost exponents of what has become known as "radical history": the euphemism of choice for Marxist and neo-Marxist historians who seek to overturn the old mainstream political history.
